Gathers looking to become more than just a CZ legend

[Bleu Star]

“Having a guy like Tony Romo in your corner, believing in you, seeing your potential and maximizing it during that time we had? That was another surreal moment, playing with No. 9, man,” Gathers said. “Then going back and watching some of the film and going back to some of the things he’d tell me, he’d keep me after practice and work on certain routes. I couldn’t ask for a better situation than having him work with me and just taking the time to mold me into somewhat of a basic tight end.”


Sitting next to Jason Witten, Gathers said he learned by osmosis.

“I’d be sitting next to him in our coaching sessions and I see him jotting down notes, OK, I’ve got to jot that down, too,” Gathers said.

Hes the #2 TE right now. I'll go on record & say he makes the final 53. That's all y'all need to know. Follow the link for the rest.

What's gonna happen without Witten for him to copy?

I think the 53 is a lock. Can he contribute and continue to learn is the real question
He will get his shot but he still has so much to learn. Does he continue to learn and develope, if he does he has the physical skills to make an impact

I think he has a really good chance to make the final 53. My question is will they actually use him?

Lets hope that when it gets to that point, someone else is copying off Gathers.....

"CZ legend"? You mean Cowboys legend??

How many articles can be written about an UDFA who hasn't taken a regular season snap? You'd think he was the next Gavin Escobar the way he gets hyped.

He has the desire to do it. As little as that may seem, that's a lot more than some can say. Seen a lot of players who were drafted high but never seem to care about being good.

The reason Rico will contribute is his blocking. Escobar didn't have the body or mentality for it.
His catching is already established. His route running I don't know or haven't heard about.

Can't wait to see him move people in the run game. He will be a huge upgrade over Pablo. Throw in a healthy Hanna and Swaim and feed Zeke!

Heart and desire are hard to measure. But they are the difference in a good player being great or a jag being a good player

CZ legend, thats going to be hard, Bruce Carter, Lance Dunbar, now Rico, wow. we are filling up.

If Hanna or Swaim aren't healthy, they don't really have a choice but to use him.

How they use him, who knows.

Smart. I tell my students all the time to mimic what they see the successful students doing. I also remember Ray Lewis saying he would be in meetings taking notes, even in his final year playing.

Everyone here and the Cboys are on that record too. It's either the 53 or bye bye to another team if he's on the ps.

I like the way you think.

Nah. I meant CZ. We tend to roast prospects much harder than actual reality.
